Vigilance Reporting is the process of assessing, investigating, and reporting user complaints and incidents where patient injury, adverse health effects, or death occur due to medical device misuse or malfunction. The purpose of this procedure is to:

• Define the actions your organization will take following a notification of an incident reportable to or by the Competent Authorities.
• Ensure these actions align with applicable reporting responsibilities.
• Establish vigilance and post-market surveillance for all products for which your organization is the legal manufacturer.
